Sediments that were eroded at or near Linganore High School end up in the Chesapeake Bay. Sediments eroded from rocks in Linganore Creek and are carried to the Monocacy River. From there, the sediments are taken to the Potomac River. The Potomac River’s water and anything loose in it are dispensed into the Chesapeake Bay.…

I had a great time on the Natchez Steamboat. It was amazing to watch the Mississippi River push us along itself with the help of the Natchez’s paddle.

As a Fish Camp counselor I want to gain a stronger network through the entire camp and develop a bond with others beyond who I have met my first two semesters of college. I want to be a mentor for the next year freshman as they transition into college just like my DG-discussion group-parents did for me.

The counselors that were in my camp had strong relationships with one another and that is something I want to be apart of. I want to help the Class of 2020 in anyway I can because the counselors my year influenced me significantly and helped me transition into college.…
For my honors enrichment project, I have choose to do a photo contest. The photo contest I entered in was the Zeiss. The picture I entered in the contest was a marsh which I took when I visited Pinckney Island. Marshes are usually found on the edge of a stream, pond, or lake. They often flood and if the surrounding area gets too dry, they feed the water from the flood back to stream, pond, or lake.…

For our design we have decided to do a bowstring bridge. A bowstring bridge normally are used to carry road and rail traffic. By bowstring bridges being able to use arches it makes it so that the weight of anything crossing the bridge is actually able to go straight down into the bridge instead of dispersing across the entire bridge. This makes sure that the bridge doesn’t have one spot taking on too much weight on the bridge. Bowstring bridges tend to be become stronger over time because the bridge becomes compact on itself and it becomes denser therefore making the bridge stronger over time.…
I got ready to visit the amazing Amazon river. I had to wait for the tour guide to show up with the bus. The tour guide was pulling in with a bus that had a distinct rusting metal smell like a mechanics garage that has old cars there for ten years. The tour guide said “I will need to check everyone to help reduce risks of injuries and death from the deadly beasties.” When the tour guide said “beastie.”…
I have always been fascinated about God’s creations and how each one has something to do with the life cycle of earth. Living in the city makes it harder to view the interworking of plants and animals, but my city has built an ecosystem within the city limits for all ages to explore.

My family and I have attended many demonstrations and seminars at this location so I thought I would use it as the basis of my paper.…
